Forty Six is the definitive story about the first Porsche to win its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, followed up by its strange and interesting story in the United States through the decades and then with its full restoration by Rod Emory. The book is 352 pages, with 256 color plates, and 241 halftones, measuring 11.5 x 10 inches. It's sure to be one of the books you'll want in your automotive library or on your coffee table.
Twice Around the Clock: The Yanks at Le Mans, the white volumes, is an encyclopedic approach toward recording and telling the stories of American drivers, cars, and teams who have competed at the legendary French classic since its inception. Imagined by former actor and respected automotive journalist Tim Considine, the first three or red volumes were published in 2018. Unfortunately, Tim passed away in 2022, leaving the next volumes unfinished. A group of Tim's respected friends and colleagues picked up the task and have finished the white volumes which bring the series up to the year 1999. Contributors include Cridland, Randy Leffingwell, John Nikas, Roger Attaway, and Dave Davies, with design by Jodi Ellis. There are two volumes in the set, 9 x 11 inches in size and total of 765 pages. Price is $225.00 from David Bull Press. Click on the image below to order.
